Hello
I've got the following Problem:
I got 24 Intel Nucs d54250wyk in a classroom at the school where i work as sysadmin. Last friday i wanted to bring them up to the latest bios version 0028 and so i did the update on 5 NUCs which worked fine and the nucs would start fine. Since i had to make some changes in the bios on all of them (like setting a supervisor password and deactivating some unused functions) i thought it would make sence to create a bios profile and deploy that to the other nucs so i won't have to make all the settings one by one.
So i did that and applied the profile to 3 of the 5 nucs that i previously upgraded from bios 0026 to 0028.
The import of the profile worked fine and the settings seemed to have applied correctly but since that point, none of those 3 nucs won't boot anymore in uefi mode. When i check the bios instead of showing the ssd under UEFI Bootdevices it shows 3 times windows bootloader (partition 0), but it won't boot from that.
Now i tried everything possible to reverse that:
1. I tried restoring default settings of the bios
2. I tried bios recovery by removing the security jumper on the board and load the bios freshly
3. I downgraded the bios to version 0026
4. I created a customized bios with the intel integrator toolkit and applied that to overwrite existing settings
None of the above methods worked!
I ensured that the ssd and partition structure is ok, by removing the ssd and put in one of the working nucs --> it startet without a problem.
So it seems to me like applying a bios profile from one nuc to another, must somehow screw that bios although it is the exact same modell.
Does anybody of the pro's here know how to harder hard reset a nuc's bios to make that failure undone ;-)?
Thanks in advance for your help!
